and dealing with heavy rain across the area not even only that tornado possibly that rotation in the upper levels of the atmosphere that's why the national weather service issued the tornado warning this morning foresees i county we can see this in the area of the meadow at elk creek and this is going to continue for the next several minutes and we will see if there is a little change but in the meantime the other place that is are under the gun this morning we are looking at running brook park around craigtown this morning. blithedale and aiken and as we look towards the west, we are looking at port deposit. this area not under the tornado warning but we are dealing with some unsettled weather this morning some stormy weather and plenty of cloud to ground lightning and a little earlier saw some hail within the cell that we are looking with that tornado warning across the area as well. so, our next stop takes us up to the north and we are looking around to rising sun and sun

view and around green field acres rather. and also around kilby corners. if you are familiar with the areas we are dealing with heavy rain coming down across the area there. if you are just tuning in, this is what we have in store for you this morning. we have an update and i like it when we update because we have a change in the weather. we are looking at an expiration of cecil county. the tornado warning has been allowed to expire. something is coming off the printer and it has been able to expire so this is good news foresees i will county -- for cecil county. we have still lots of color on the map so we have the greens and darker greens don't know if you can see but beer we are dealing with a flash flood warning for cecil and hairford and -- harford and we are seeing that up to the north in pennsylvania

as well. everywhere else is is light colored green so everywhere else a flash flood watch until 3:00 this afternoon. traveling out of state the tornado warning is in delaware so, that is where you will run into it. but in maryland, we are all clear of any type tornado warning as of now. i am going step out for a second and look at the radar and make sure that nothing else could be coming as a tornado warning in the next several minutes here. but once again a recap, the tornado warning for south central chester and cecil counties has been chanceeled and that's good news -- canceled and that's good news. let me zoom out and see the big picture here be a what we are watching is this area here i will zoom in on it right here coming in to baltimore county sliding over into harford county. this is a thunderstorm but we

have no warnings on this and we can see plenty of lightning with this. but right now, this looks like one of your run of the mill thunderstorms but we will see if rotation happens if it does the national weather service will issue another tornado warning but once again to recap all the tornado warnings as of now in maryland have been able to exspire. let's go ahead and go over to lauren with a check of the traffic. >> reporter: well we are starting off with a live look 95 here in the tidings memorial bridge as lynette mentioned, the tornado warning expired for cecil county. roads are slick so traveling across the region you have to take it slow. police and fire are investigating reports of a fire in avenuer dean and an rv caught fire and it's unknown if it is storm related but expect activity near moyer drive. again 95 incredibly slick if you are traveling from harford county all the way up to cecil county and here's main lines. the jfx and tunnels will be

clear and west side of the beltway is 24 miles per hour in the outer loop at liberty road. that's your timesaver traffic. >> all right we will wrap this up and take you to new york and good morning america. lynette charles is is standing by as we continued and you have stressed we may not be out of the woods for the day. >> so we have the round this morning and we have not had the cold front move through. once that slides through a little later we can see another round of the clashing of the air masses possibly more severe weather. >> all right. as you can find out the latest on this going to abc2news.com and bc2an and twitter and storm shield app and take advantage and we will stay on the story throughout the course of the day bringing outmost accurate information that we know now to new york be safe out there.

jon karl from the white house. >> reporter: a clear sign she has not retired from politics. hillary clinton gave her first major policy speech since stepping down as secretary of state. and made it clear there's much more to come. she's back.

in a speech before the american bar association, hillary clinton announced she plans to give a series of big policy speeches in the coming months. monday night, she addressed voting rights and racial discrimination. >> in inwho says that racial discrimination is no longer a problem in american elections must not be paying attention. >> reporter: speeches will keep her in the spotlight, on the most concrete indication yet she is preparing to run for president. next month, mrs. clinton will travel to philadelphia, to take on another hot-button topic. to take on security, nsa programs and privacy. just as she was speaking before the a.b.a., disgraced mayoral candidate, anthony weiner, the last person clinton wanted comments on her campaign, processed to have inside information on hillary clinton 2016. at least as it relates to huma abedin, one of her closest advisers. >> do you know what her role in

hillary clinton's 2016 campaign will be? >> i do. i'm not telling you. >> do you feel you damaged her place in that world? >> yeah. >> reporter: that was a blunder. hillary clinton has not yet made it official she is running for president. in a recent poll, anthony weiner broke a new record in new york. although, it's not the kind of record he would like to break. he became the most unpopular political figure on record in the state of new york. an unfavorability rating of 80%. >> hard to beat. thanks very much. we turn to the incredible video of the moment a luxury resort was swallowed up by a sinkhole. it happened near orlando, florida. and dozens of frightened guests fled for their lives. abc's steve osunsami has the latest on what caused the earth to open up in clermont, florida. good morning, steve. >> reporter: good morning, lara.

this is as close as we can get to much of the villa. much of the state sits on limestone. the water below eat at the stone. and heavy rain pushes into it. leaving you with this. here's video that explains why florida authorities are so worried. what was a perfectly normal vacation villa with two dozen units that are three floors high, all crumbling into a 100-foot sinkhole. this morning, florida inspectors and scientists are testing deep into the soil. families who were forced to evacuate sunday night from the buildings next door, are waiting for the good word that they can return to their vacation rentals. >> we heard a big boom. and the bathtub lifted up and went down. >> reporter: in building 104, that looks like it's circling a drain, dozens of families ran for their lives when the earth gave way and lost everything they had. >> the balconies were collapsing. like one on top of the other.

>> reporter: this is a photo of maggie, her kids and their three friends all here from virginia, just moments before the building caved in. >> everybody was in. >> reporter: and this is cell phone video from when they escaped. she managed to grab the keys and the kids but nothing else. >> you don't see a building every day twisting on itself, like it's in a vortex. and coming down around you. >> reporter: richard shanle runs security for the resort. he ran through the halls, yelling for families to get out. >> as i went from one side to the other, the building did drop 10 to 20 inches every time i went up a level. >> reporter: but the shifting walls left many of the doors jammed shut. one family with a baby had to break through a window. the people who were staying here have been moved to other rentals on this property. authorities do believe that the sinkhole is relatively stable at this time. lara? >> all right. thank you so much, steve osunsami. they think it's stable.

we're going to turn to a decisive verdict for the brutal mob boss. convicted monday for a string of killings and crimes. many convicted when he was an informant for the fbi. gio benitez is here. >> reporter: good morning. whitey bulger is likely going to die locked up. he may have inspired hollywood movies. but this morning, the real-life tale keeps him off the streets for good. notorious gang boss, whitey bulger, unflinching when his verdict was read. >> after 31 years, after a lot of fbi cover-ups, deceits and lies, we finally have somebody guilty in the murder of my father. >> reporter: but for other families, there was no justice. bulger, eluding a guilty verdict on eight other murder charges, including steven davis' sister,

deborah. >> and the rest of the families that have to live every day with the fact that they lost a loved one. >> reporter: a former mobster once said, whitey bulger could teach the devil tricks. bulger learned he could be indicted and went on the run for 16 years. climbing to the top of the fbi's ten most-wanted list. with him for the ride, his girlfriend, catherine greig. >> they led this life of retirees, walking the beach, taking care of stray cats. >> reporter: now, bulger will likely live out the rest of his days behind bars. and as he was led away, one woman in the gallery taunted bulger, apparently imitating a machine gun. yelling rat-a-tat-tat, whitey.

>> thanks, gio. now, we turn to the mysterious priest who came to a woman's rescue just in time, after a nasty car crash. and just as quickly, vanished. many were wondering if he was real or an angel. he was both. the heavenly hero is speaking to abc in a network exclusive. and abc's alex perez has our story. >> reporter: he was the man from behind the miracle. >> i was coming from 8:30 mass. saw this line of cars. >> reporter: reverend patrick dowling revealing himself, after his seemingly devine intervention. >> one of the rescuers said to me, we need all the help we can get. >> reporter: struck by a drunk driver, 19-year-old katie lentz was barely clinging to life. that's when the mysterious priest teamed to appear out of thin air.

>> i think this time, i've actually witnessed a guardian angel at work. >> reporter: adding to the air of mystery, father dowling's disappearance, when lentz was air-lifted to the hospital. it wasn't long before the town was searching for this hero. even prompting this sketch. uncanny? probably not. >> i hope i'm not as hungry looking. >> reporter: as for lentz, father dowling had a chance to meet with her in the icu. >> she started to dry. i'm not sure why. she wasn't disappointed. >> reporter: while her savior may have salt and pepper hair than a halo, those closest to lentz, says he is. >> he is an angel. >> i love that gentle voice. >> i do, too. >> central casting right there.

that was perfect. >> beautiful story. ginger, the weather not quite as beautiful. >> not at all. and philadelphia is under a severe thunderstorm warning as we speak. wpvi's camera. can't even see the skyline. they had a wet june. and severe storms moving in for parts of philadelphia. and we want to be on alert for the southeast and mid-atlantic. the storms, the first round, is on top of us now. behind this front, it's cold. it's cool. it feels like autumn. autumnal. 58, minneapolis. and green bay at 50. your local forecast coming up in 30 seconds.

level. also coming up this morning, a new twist in the paula deen controversy. a federal judge making a new ruling on the claims against her. also, reality tv star, bethenny frankel, opening up, perhaps as never before, about her divorce. why she says she does not regret letting those cameras roll right through her most painful personal moments. a woman whose husband said he cheated on her, because you're not pretty enough. well, she turned those words into a life-changing mission. she's helping others change their lives as well. a federal judge has thrown out race discrimination claims against the celebrity chef, in a lawsuit that's cost her so much of her culinary empire. is this a victory for deen? rebecca jarvis is here with the latest. >> reporter: that's the question

this morning. a dramatic turn of events. a legal victory for paula deen. but in the court of public opinion, the decision may have come two months too late. this morning, the disgraced queen of southern cuisine, escaped one boiling pot of legal hot water. monday's ruling by a federal judge puts an end to the most damaging claim against the tv star, that she had discriminated against employees based on their race. an accusation that toppled her cooking kingdom and ruined her reputation. >> her first mistake was letting a million-dollar lawsuit crash a $20 million a year empire. it doesn't matter if you're right and they're wrong. it's a business decision. and you settle it. and you make it go away. >> reporter: deen's former restaurant manager, lisa jackson, a white woman with biracial nieces, sued deen, claiming she was offended by deen's alleged discrimination

against black workers in restaurant. jackson's lawyers deposed her, asking have you ever used the "n" word yourself? deen replied, yes, ovk. but only in the past. when h words leaked. >> her empire crumbled. >> please, forgive me, for the mistakes i've made. the food network dropped her show. and a chain of retailers cut ties. but the judge's ruling stated jackson had not proven her claim. saying she was, at best, quote, an accidental victim of the alleged racial discrimination. this morning, many wonder if it's all too little too late. >> it falls apart in minutes. it can take years to rebuild. this is not a moment when the sponsors go, we wipe the splat clean, we're back. >> reporter: deen's publicist tells abc news, the star is pleased with the ruling. and deen is confident that those

who truly know she lives her life, she believes in equal opportunity, kindness and fairness for everyone. the ruling claims that deen's brother sexually harassed her. the judge could rule on requests from deen's lawyers to dismiss those claims, as well. we want to bring in abc's chief legal affairs anchor, dan abrams. what do you think about the judge's decision? >> you're talking about a white plaintiff. you can win. if she was able to demonstrate she wasn't able to work with her african-american colleagues, for example, based on this racism, that could be a legitimate claim. but the court saying there's no indication that that was the case in this particular lawsuit. and throwing it out. keeping the sexual harassment claim alive. >> the judge saying at one point, that jackson is, at best, an accidental victim. so, is this any kind of victory

at all for paula deen? >> it's a legal victory for paula deen. but what the judge is saying, even if everything in here is true, it's still not a valid racial discrimination case. that doesn't help paula deen. in terms of court of public opinion, this court is not saying none of this is true. all the court is saying, even if it is true, there's not a valid race ce here. >> and it's not over yet. >> that's right. the judge still keeping open the possibility of the sexual harassment claim. that's different because she's saying, that happened to her. >> right. >> as opposed to how she felt about things happening to other people. >> i believe the judge was saying, federal courts are not human resources departments. >> right. >> dan, thank you so much. to be continued on this one. now, to an emotional child custody battle, to controversial the supreme court had to step in. they're ruling that a biological

father, a native american, must turn her over to adoptive parents. >> reporter: good morning, george. this morning, little veronica's biological father has been charged with custodial interference. and the couple that once raised her struggles to bring her home. they say her biological father abandoned her and is keeping her unlawf unlawfully. two families in turmoil, fighting over a little girl named veronica. >> our daughter has been kidnapped. and i expect the situation to be treated as such. >> reporter: the confusing legal battle all began in 2009, when veronica's birth mother put her baby up for adoption. >> we were playing for a child to love and raise when christy came into our lives and selected us to be the parents of her daughter. >> reporter: matthew and melanie raised veronica for the first two years of her life. but when the child's father,

dustin brown, a member of the cherokee nation, learned she had been adopted, he sued for custody. south dakota gave the custody to brown, citing a law that tries to keep native american families together. they fought back. taking their case to the u.s. supreme court. this summer, the justices reversed the state court, ruling that brown had relinquished his parental rights. but just days ago, after a judge finalized the adoption, brown, an iraq war vet, failed to show up at a meeting with the couple and was charged with interference. this morning, brown is out on bond, but refusing to be extradited from oklahoma to south carolina. >> his daughter is of critical importance to him. and he intends to assert his legal rights. this morning, veronica is with her maternal grandparents.

but they're begging to get her back. they just redid her bedroom. they didn't give birth to this little girl, but they raised her from the beginning, she is their daughter. >> such a difficult case. let's get to ginger zee with the weather. >> talking about all of the flooding right here and all the way back to just east of the rockies. it's not just flooding. we have dry weather. and very dry. and all of the wildfires are up. 34 large wildfires including the one you're seeing there. that's the american fire. 2,000 acres burning. and it's still going. we'll be keeping an eye on that because inland, it is hot. las vegas, 102. sacramento, 92. los angeles having their coolest start to washington. 70 in san francisco. the coast is okay. but that heat is spreading. you have the high-pressure system. it will take clockwise. salt lake city, near 100
